DANGER!
Risk of injury – user transported in wheelchair
Permobil recommends that users not be transported in any vehicle, while
seated in the wheelchair.
If the wheelchair must be transported while the user is seated in it, the
following requirements must be fulfilled:
• the vehicle is equipped with a locking system that is approved by
Permobil. For alternative vehicle securement options, please consult
your dealer.
• the locking system must be dimensioned for the total weight of the
wheelchair and the user.
• the user uses a three-point seat belt attached to the vehicle.
• the wheelchair itself must be crash tested and approved.
• the wheelchair should be fitted with a headrest during transit.
If any of these requirements are not met, the user must be transferred to a
vehicle seat and use a factory installed three-point seat belt during the
journey.
